Californian quartet defining themselves as Sci-Fi black metal, maybe due to cosmic and interstellar topics, sounding like blackened death metal too ("The Maw"). It's a well-balanced melodic black metal album, with some fast-paced tracks and nice rhythmic transitions reminding me of Swiss band Celtic Frost (e.g. Terminal Odyssey). In other words not overly dominated by drum speed and also not sounding as extreme or as raw as some BM can be.
Favorite track: Majesty Of The Void.

After releasing a standout album in 'Cipher', sci-fi black metal band Imperialist return with a brand new full length of soaring ambition and mesmerizing music. 'Zenith' sees the band delving fully into the sci-fi realm, stringing together longer, well-thought and fleshed out songs narrating the infinite appeal of the ever-mystifying cosmos. Having showcased a knack for infusing sharp thrash riffing and hooks into the bleak Dissection-esque black metal palette, Imperialist manage to take it to the next level on this album, aspiring for better scope and clutching on to the emotive stains lest it begins to get too mechanical straying far away from the earthly confines. Meticulously structured and carefully paced, the album pulsates like a luminous star, unleashing a plethora of unforgettable riffs with every song. Imperialist have never sounded more confident and mature, as they straddle calculated, sharp black metal music and the capacity to exude human sentience, taking forward the style into uncharted realms without losing the essence. They've crafted a masterpiece with 'Zenith', crossing thresholds of what this particular style is expected to contain.
For fans of - Dissection, Sacramentum, Vektor, Emperor, Frozen Dawn, Vorga, Immortal, Thulcandra

Decipher play a form of steely, emotive and powerful black metal that's easily a highlight in the style this year. Their music is virtually flawless and boasts of exceptional songwriting. It's a gem. Imperialist
This is an absolutely mesmerizing album that blends influences of death, black, doom and even progressive metal without diluting the sound which remains crushing and impactful. Outstanding music! Imperialist
With the guitarist of Dead Congregation, this Greek death/black metal band creates dark, menacing music that will haunt you for days. This is absolutely gripping music, among the best this year! Imperialist
